Jesston is the capital city of the Mobian Confederation.

Demographics[edit | edit source]

Jesston, being in a federal district, is home to the Jesston State Hall where MPs come from each constituency of the nation to meet (two MPs per constituency, one to Jesston, one to the capital of their home kingdom/island/etc. In Jesston's case, there's only one MP [In case you are wondering, both MPs would be from the same political party so the people of a constituency elect a pair of MPs from one of the political parties.].). As such, there is to be an equal amount of English, French, and German speakers. The city is also one of the most diverse places in Mobius in both religions and ethnic groups.

History[edit | edit source]

Jesston was established in 200 AD by human settlers after pushing out the Overlanders in the region. Jesston was the capital of the Alban-Frank kingdom Mergisland (no relation to the city of Mergiston). In 900, when the Moblos took over, Jesston became a safe area for humans to escape persecution. The city was a central part of the Jesston Revolution of 1787 in which the humans managed to declare independence and create the short-lived nation of New Mergisland until it was put to an end by Albion. Throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries, the human population on Jesston was dwindling and was getting replaced by the Mobians. In 1969, Ivo Robotnik overthrew the Albionian monarchy and established the Albion Workers' Union with Jesston (which was then renamed to Ivograd in a lame attempt to placate other communist countries) being the capital. In 1976, Myles McCloud, along with several others, overthrew the Robotnik regime and re-established the Kingdom of Albion as one of the four kingdoms in the Mobian Confederation. Jesston was then renamed back to its old name and the city was then declared the capital of the Mobian Confederation. In 1997, the city and its surrounding areas became part of the new Jesston District which became the federal district. Jesston is currently the second largest city in the nation with Mergiston as the largest city.

Notable Areas[edit | edit source]

  • Jesston State Hall - the building that houses the Mobian parliament, it was built in 1787 to house the New Mergisland parliament but, when it was completed, New Mergisland was put to an end by Albion.
  • Hundleman Palace - A royal palace built in 1787 to house the New Mergisland Royal Family but, when it was completed, the New Mergisland Royal Family was already executed by Albionian soldiers to prevent another Jesston Revolution. The palace has been inhabited by the Mobian Royal Family since 1976.
